No, definitely not. Longjmp in VAXC is implemented using the VAX/VMS SIGNAL mechanism. It SHOULD NOT SCREW UP YOUR STACK, it carefully UNWINDS it, running other exception handling procedures along the way. Therefore I would expect that standard I/O subroutines would behave quite nicely under just such a condition. Perhaps DEC got some Unix hacker to implement their standard I/O library. Anyway, DEC seems to be well aware of the problem at this point. -gjc
